Former Chief Resident
"I am honored to serve as Chief Resident and am using the opportunity to further develop my leadership skills. Upon completion of residency I plan to remain in Atlanta and work in general adult outpatient. Furthermore, I hope to incorporate academia into my career by working with medical students and MSM Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Residency Program."
Former Chief Resident
"I am privileged to work with a group of supportive faculty and amazing co-residents who not only challenge me, but have influenced my development into a competent and well-rounded psychiatrist. As chief resident, I have the opportunity to work closely with administration and serve as an advocate for my fellow residents. Following graduation from residency, I plan to remain in Atlanta and work as an adult outpatient psychiatrist with a focus on trauma, women’s health, LGBTQIA, and other underserved and underrepresented communities."
